On a quiet Saturday, Dane van Niekerk, South African women's skipper, tied knot with her longtime teammate and all-rounder Marizanne Kapp. They become the second couple in international cricket to get married to their own teammates.

We have been hearing for a long time that love conquers all boundaries. This proved out to be literally true when two South African women cricketers, currently active, tied the nuptial knot. Proteas women's skipper Dane van Niekerk got married to her teammate and all-rounder Marizanne Kapp on Saturday. The announcement was made by Kapp who posted two pictures of her and her partner on Instagram. One of the pictures had both the women cricketers and a diamond ring as the caption, solemnising their marriage.

The South African pair is second in the international cricket to get married to their teammates. Amy Satterthwaite and Lea Tahuhu from New Zealand had last year entered the matrimonial bond. The Proteas players wedding was attended by their teammates as per reports.

Both the players had made their international debuts during the 2009 Women's World Cup. Interestingly, Van Niekerk donned the South African uniform on March 8 and Kapp on March 10 against West Indies and Australia respectively. See the pictures from their wedding here:
